Unit 3 Inventors and inventions Ⅰ.阅读理解 A I grew up in San Pedro.My dad was a fisherman,and he loved the sea.He had his own boat,but it was hard to make a living on the sea.He worked hard and would stay out until he caught enough to feed the family.Not just enough for our family,but also for his mom and dad and the other kids that were still at home. Dad was a big man,and he was strong from pulling the nets and fighting the seas for his catch.When you got close to him,he smelled like the ocean. When the weather was bad he would drive me to school.He would pull right up in front,and it seemed like everybody would be standing around and watching.Then he would lean over and give me a big kiss on the cheek and tell me to be a good boy.It was so embarrassing for me.Here,I was twelve years old,and my dad would lean over and kiss me good-bye! I remember the day I thought I was too old for a good-bye kiss.When we got to the school and came to a stop,he had his usual big smile.He started to lean toward me,but I put my hand up and said,“No,Dad.”It was the first time I had ever talked to him that way,and he had this surprised look on his face.? I said,“Dad,I’m too old for a good-bye kiss.I’m too old for any kind of kiss.”My dad looked at me for the longest time,and his eyes started to tear up.I had never seen him cry.He turned and looked out the windshield(汽车挡风玻璃).“You’re right,”he said.“You are a big boy...a man.I won’t kiss you anymore.” It wasn’t long after that when my dad went to sea and never came back. Guys,you don’t know what I would give to have my dad give me just one more kiss on the cheek...to feel his rough old face...to smell the ocean on him...to feel his arm around my neck.I wish I had been a man then.If I had been a man,I would never have told my dad I was too old for a good-bye kiss. 【语篇导读】父爱如山,父亲会将所有的感情都默默地隐藏在他那伟岸的脊背上;父爱似水,他将所有的爱都化作流水,从我心头流过,伴我跋涉人生旅程。 1.What does the first paragraph mainly talk about?
